The PRESIDENT : Just before the Minister for Mental Health
answers, I forgot, because I was distracted, that the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Health, in answering the last question I believe,
tabled a document, and I did not make —
Hon ALANNA CLOHESY : It was the Minister for Mental Health.
The PRESIDENT : Was it the Minister for Mental Health? I
am sorry; I was really distracted! There was document tabled that I forgot to
acknowledge. The Minister for Mental Health may now answer.
